Claims16
A portable cooler container with active temperature control, comprising:
- a container body having a vacuum insulated vessel with a chamber configured to receive and hold one or more medicine injector pens, the chamber defined at least in part by an inner peripheral wall of the vacuum insulated vessel;
- a lid operable to access the chamber;
- and
- a temperature control system comprising
- one or more thermoelectric elements in thermal communication with at least a portion of the chamber via a heat sink having a first portion in thermal communication with the one or more thermoelectric elements and disposed outside the vacuum insulated vessel, a second portion in thermal communication with the inner peripheral wall and at least partially disposed inside a gap between the inner peripheral wall and an outer peripheral wall of the vacuum insulated vessel, and a bridge portion that interconnects the first portion and the second portion of the heat sink,
- one or more power storage elements, and
- circuitry configured to control the one or more thermoelectric elements to heat or cool at least a portion of the chamber to a predetermined temperature or temperature range.
